I can't seem to do this. I've been thinking about it as I can, and... the issue is; they're already aware of their background.
When I make a character, I consider myself a medium. I come up with ideas, test each one with varying concepts and situations, and see what 'fits'. When something fits, I put it into its place, and continue on. This way, I 'find' the gender of the character, their skills, their story. I'm basically finding the soul of someone who is already out there, and giving me hints about their story, their life. It doesn't always work 100% - but the stronger characters are the ones that have control of their backgrounds, and control over themselves, and I just am their voice. (This is why I don't like trying to plan ahead things, or say something will happen if this-n-this goes this-or-that way, because real life doesn't work that way either.)
They have no need to get angry at me, because I'm only telling others their story.
I -suppose- most would actually say something along the lines of; "Thank you, for letting me play in a story." I show them a story, and they play in it; not I.
